ABOUT THE FAT 8 CONFERENCE

 

 

 

      We started out purely as a Solitaire League but with the growing interest in our play style we decided to modify our organizational model to a “Collaborative Solitaire League”.  This means that each coach will play 8 games per season with their teams, with the option to play some games in solitaire or to select one weekend with which to meet the Commissioner and play all eight or any selected games on their schedule over the course of a weekend and have each game recorded and systematically released over the FAT8 Broadcast Channel.

 

       Our miniature football league uses a realistic play style called Real Play Simulation or RPS. Watch your quarterbacks run play action passes, real time hand-off for run plays, option run and pass plays, draw plays, and for passing each teams quarterbacks  are unique. During the recruiting season each team has to fill its dept chart with players that fit into their play style. Every team has their own offense and defense and no one team is the same. Some teams will recruit pocket passers, while others will look for balanced quarterbacks that is mobile. But watch out because injuries will put your star players on the sideline or out for the season. But there's more, coaches can find themselves losing prestige for poor behavior. Every team must have two coaches present during games. Wide receivers have actual routes that they run and each team will specialize in a specific style of play.  

       In addition, we are all about the passion of college football. Follow us on our youtube channel as we bring the true feeling of college football to you. You will hear the crowd respond to the action in the game. We’ll be doing training camps, Team Recruiting Camps, Walk-on Try-Outs, Position Drills, Scrimmages, Pre-season color games, Position Challenges, as well as the actual season with Marching bands, cheerleaders, coaches and Assistant coaches, and in the future building actual stadiums for our teams.

 

 

FAT8 Conference Mission:

Introduction

    Miniature Football is a game that allows you to coach and quarterback a team of miniature football athletes

on a vibrating realistic football field game board. As the coach, you call the plays, and as the quarterback, you execute

the play on the field. Miniature Football is a “hands on” game, which puts you on the field and allows you to physically set up your players in offensive and defensive formations. It requires a basic knowledge of football and the ability to analyze

your opponent’s strengths, weaknesses and tendencies to formulate a strategic game plan to be victorious.

    FAT 8 Rules Standard are a set of rules that were developed for the FAT 8 Conference. The idea is not to develop rules to streamline winning and losing. The premise of the FAT 8 Rules Standard is to allow more characterful actions by the coaches, athletes, and referee’s in order to create more dramatic realism of college football. Our primary rule here is “Have more Fun more Often”! These rules were meant to come as close to actual college football traditions as possible and to create more exciting action in each game.
